Hope you're having better luck than me with your Mask, I don't even want to think how long it may take at this point.

I did the hold to wait until after the first for the free stamp. Between the guns and cans I needed to cool it for a while anyway :lol:

What thermal did you end up going with?

I’ve had a Thermion 2 XP50. I want the new Nocpix Ace S60R.

The ATF email is down as well. I’m approved. I’ve been waiting on them to email the paperwork including the SS Trust since 12/11/25

I probably should have paid the $200 but now y’all get to hear me bitch about it for the next 12 months :banghead:

Once everything gets back to normal I’ll probably buy a couple more then be done for a while.

A cool 90 degrees here in South Texas. It’s cooled down to 86 :lol:

At least the wind is blowing so it doesn’t feel as hot as yesterday. .308 now but may switch to thermal and try going after pigs tonight if the LSU game sucks.

The last 2 or 3 that I bought all took silencer shop around 2 weeks to get the paperwork ready to be filed. Once it was filed it went through in 2-4 days. I imagine silencer shop has been backlogged with orders and that 2-3 weeks increased. You’re mad a a company trying to sell products? Seems you waited a little too long.

Mine was 19 days from the time I purchased to pick up. I did the hold on my next one so it will be interesting to see what the time difference is.

I’m one of those 10k. Hopefully these tards don’t go back to 12 to 13 months. There shouldn’t even be a stamp and you should be able to walk in and buy one.

Budget?

Probably don’t want to spend more than $500 for a .22 scope.

I’m looking at an Athlon for like $160 4-12.

It’s 90 in South Texas and I’m miserable.

Got a 25/06 and 6.8 SPC with a thermal. Going to sit late and see if I can bust a pig after dark.

I’m worried about areas that I hunt and T-mobile not getting service.

How long have you been gone now? We took the old Saritas Asian building and did a major renovation and moved the pizza place into the renovated space. That gave us almost double the square footage. That finished up in June, I kept the old sport and we are finishing up converting that into a Diversion Asian concept that will open this spring

I’ve been working in Texas for 2 years now. Sold my house last summer, so I was still coming back to Baton Rouge.

King Ranch brought me to this board. I remember putting like 40 bags of corn into his Ford car thing. We had to push the corn in and close the trunk to make it fit :lol:
